Question Engine cool time

The 737 CFM engines have a 3 minute cool time before shutdown with a provision for 1 minute cooling time for operational reasons.
Is schedule a valid "operational " reason to shutdown after a minute ? I think not, as why else would there be a recommendation to wait 3 min before s/down ?I believe the 1 minute provision is for exigencies not schedule.
What do you think?
